Welcome! If you stick with SP you will lose weight and feel better. The most important thing for me has been the food tracker. It opened my eyes to how many calories I was eating, and then helped me to pare down my intake so I could lose weight. Several years ago I lost over 50 lbs using SP, but then health problems put me in a position where I could no longer exercise and that was my undoing. (thyroid and back pain). I gained 30 lbs back and I am now back on SP determined to lose it again and to reduce my back pain with exercise. Good luck to you on your journey here, and don't ever hesitate to reach out for support.
